About

For more than 35 years, the restaurant Au Tarot has established itself as the best Mediterranean restaurant in Montreal. The restaurant Au Tarot is at once an Algerian restaurant, a Moroccan restaurant, and a Tunisian restaurant, as it marries all the cuisine of the Maghreb. To save you the effort of cooking, the restaurant offers free delivery of its fresh traditional dishes, cooked every day with care. Takeout meals are also available. Consult the chef for special delivery during events, weddings, film shoots, office parties, etc.

The chef-owner, Nouredine Kara, demanding and a perfectionist, does his own shopping by selecting the best fresh products from the market every day. He oversees everything: from the preparation of the semolina to the homemade production of the merguez; from the perfect composition of the tagines (which are undoubtedly the best in Montreal), to the warm and affable welcome of all customers. One often encounters many personalities from the world of arts, business, or politics at the restaurant, who are loyal fans of tagines, pastillas, and couscous, as well as the charm that reigns here.

Au Tarot: quality, calm atmosphere, smiles, and a warm welcome… nothing but happiness!

Quiet location about 2 blocks from Mont-Royal metro station. Very generous portions. We had mechouia, kefta with couscous & a chicken tagine. Owner served extra vegetable dish, along with bread & olives, gratis. All very flavorful. We probably over ordered for two people. We were also given free dessert. Host was very welcoming but very laid back. It took a little while to be asked our order but the food came out quickly after that. Would definitely come back next time we're in Montreal.

Couscous exceptionnel & très généreux (il y en a pour deux)! Restaurant qui n'attire pas l'oeil de l'extérieur mais ça vaut le détour ! Les tenants sont très serviables & le propriétaire est là ddpuis plus de 40 ans! Mention spéciale pour le thé que l'on m'a offert à la fin du repas, lui aussi délicieux! Bref, je laisse d'habitude très peu d'avis Google (cela doit être mon 3e alors que j'utilise google depuis plus de 10 ans) mais là je me sentais obligé pour que ce Restaurant soit plus connu, puisqu'il le mérite !

L'endroit est très mignon, le service est excellent ! Mais je n'y retournerais malheureusement pas car la nourriture n'était pas en accord avec mes attentes. La semoule & les légumes étaient bons, mais la viande… non! Pas de goût, odeur de poisson, nous avons pris ça pour emporter & nous avons dû le jeter au bout de 5 minutes de voiture tellement ça empestait. Je ne saurais vous dire quel était le problème, mais c'était loin d'être un couscous comme je les connais

Excellent service. Personnels attentionnés & a l'écoutes. Le couscous est meilleurs que celui de ma mère, shuuuuuut ne lui dites surtout pas hahahha. Le proprio est super sympathique. toujours souriant, même si il a des employés surplace, il n'hésite pas de servir ses clients généreusement est ce toujours avec le sourire. Fortement recommandé 20/10

Meilleur place de Montréal pour le couscous, impossible d'en manger ailleurs! La cuisine est vraiment excellente & la convivialité de notre hôte est la cerise sur le gâteau. On a vraiment l'impression d'êtres reçu par un membre de la famille. J'adore! 5 étoiles bien mérité ⭐?
